News smokers vs no smokers

smokers vs no smokers

should smokers be allowed extra breaks to go out and smoke? if so why not allow people who dont smoke to get breaks also

hehe at my work the smokers just smoke where ever they want... as long as they are not up in the showroom nobody cares, or says anything...

I've never worked somewhere that smokers got more breaks... care to elaborate?

Military. Smokers get breaks and the rest of us do not.

maybe you should take up smoking.

Thats weak. They shouldnt even allow smoking in the military.

Upstairs where I work, they're having an issue with smoke breaks. It seems that alot of people are taking extra breaks just to go smoke when they're only allowed 1 15min break and a 45min lunch. or just a one hour lunch. But people are taking 3-4 10-15min breaks and an hour lunch. To top it off, they're not on top of their work so now they're restricting people from getting up from their desks unless its to go to the bathroom, lunch/break, or to ask for help.

It doesnt take 15 minutes to smoke a cig.
i take smoke breaks but a shorter a lunch.
no one cares if i do.
on the other hand nobody cares what i do.

very true. however, here at work you can only smoke in certain areas. Considering the building is huge, people have to walk to the "designated areas" in order to smoke and the majority of them are on the other side of the building.

The way you do it should be the way anyone should do it. But some take advantage of the situation.

Sounds kind of like elementary school.

It does, but thats the only way people will do their work. You'd think collection officers would take their job a little more seriously. those extra breaks they take can be extra time on the phones collecting money.

i dunno i think that there should be some sort of law in place that place that prohibits abuse of this

you should just bring a pack and make like you're smoking but don't, just to get the extra breaks.

yea that wouldnt work smokers would nark

it was their choice to start smoking. They are the ones lacking self-control, so why should they get preferential treatment because of it?

Amen.

Same type of problem occurs here at my work.

We've got the smokers from the office breaking about every hour and a half to come smoke...in my damn warehouse. Ò_Ó

nope.

:shrugs: i guess my coworkers have better control. one coworker is a cancer stick fiend, and he took one smoke break yesterday...instead of lunch.

where did you find that?
